@FenrirrWulf Overwatch. Even if there was a problem with the templates why do you need to delete the old ones?

@DerkaSoup @darowl2404 @Jay3OW You are so hilariously deluded and wrong. Smurfing is a -huge- issue in Overwatch. A bronze account sells for significantly more than a Diamond account. Why do you think that is?

The audacity of releasing Overwatch 2 and Dragonflight back to back within a two month period, knowing full well that people will buy your half-finished games and pray you fix them later.

getting refunded. Better than what Blizzard are doing to Overwatch users for sure and that us just one game. How much money did they lose running the service and now refunding all hardware and software?

@ClaraTheAndroid I think it was something to do with the Overwatch 2 looking worse than the last one, and forcing people to use their phone numbers to sign in, and also datamining and recording all the chat... just nasty. Not that I was ever interested in the first overwatch either

@SenpaiGamingYT @PlayOverwatch Yeah but everyone else is suffering the issue is putting this in 5 days before the release and half of the basic player base can not have access to overwatch 2 cause there's no work around for them best you can do is find someone you trust-

you'd think with all the work being put into overwatch currently that they would fix the report button. i'm really sick of being called slurs on a video game.

@HodesAj I was a huge Overwatch fan. Played every day since launch. Not that enthusiastic about Overwatch 2, which is odd. I should be all over that, but somehow it's both too similar to the original game and too different. The 'sign in with your phonenumber' stuff is weird.

@luvyeta @harvv @overwatchleague I currently have 500 just need 100 more to either pick Flying ace Winston or Horaice Ana. Overwatch should give double credit for the launch for Overwatch 2. Everyone going so broken claiming the first round.

Ketchup ! Bahh🔞
(@KetchupGoat) reported
non? none? Either way Overwatch and now Overwatch 2 are plagued with balance issues, anti-consumer practices and a general lack of ***** given about anything besides money. It's hard to get excited over an emote

@PlayApex Apex is trash. Fken lag even though I’m not far from server. I want to spend money on this game but there is no point because I can’t pay the game most of the time. Can’t wait for overwatch 2.

(@ShaotinOolong) reported
I talk **** on overwatch because it is in fact a **** game and nothing will convince me 2 will be any different. I see the same mistakes and issues coming back around where "balancing" is basically Just the new Meta and you will be punished for not playing the meta.

@BlizzardCS Well, Lets give this a shot. Even though I know the outcome. I have Cricket as my cell service, what will it take to be able to play Overwatch 2? Since I can’t add my number.

(@JeoulGyumo) reported
@EliasSv11177657 @gooodluckmode @PlayOverwatch You can, Blizzard just isn’t allowing prepaid numbers to qualify. I’ve had Cricket Wireless for years, and they serve me like a normal phone company. Phone service, unlimited data, and it’s paid monthly. But I can’t play Overwatch 2, because it’s Cricket Wireless.

@SkyeM68570363 That's the problem, it's not perfectly good. 1: Overwatch 1, a game we all payed for, will no longer be playable. 2: You're required to have a phone number to play, which basically means here comes the spam texts & potential spyware. And 3: Blizzard's awful reputations.

@TheProg12811525 @IGN No problem. Just wanted to point it as many people often think that Overwatch is the first game to do it.

(@ColinJo90251097) reported
@GammaRBurst @PlayOverwatch Yeah that’s what I was referring too cause overwatch is the only game to not give coins back. It’s not my biggest problem cause I see value in the items but the shop is ridiculous. I’d be happy to spend loads on the game if they weren’t greedy with the prices.

Probably going to be taking a break from unite and focus on Overwatch 2. Ray feels like a coin toss again, solo queue is frustrating, Dodrio is fun but I feel like some comps are unwinnable to go against. Tbh it is a skill issue, but I’m not feeling motivated to grind into

@vigilSBR @PlayOverwatch @SamitoFPS A **** ton of games are literally like this like valorant and Apex but when overwatch does it, it’s a massive problem???

(@RedTheFoxxo) reported
I'm gonna be real with you Overwatch 2 is probably going to get itself killed. Its already digging its own grave with a very scummy live service model and requiring a ******* phone number to play is turning it up a notch <~<

(@circleoflust) reported
honestly one of my biggest problems is the lowered team size to 5 Overwatch 1 already suffered from a single pick being able to completely swing things in your team's favor, this is making that worse it's why TF2 teams have like 12 ******* people
-
Cryptic Studios
(@Crypt0Glitch) reported
@Spessmen @DeltaIndex_ Well, 2 things. 1, it uses a far different engine than Overwatch, which means Overwatch's can be 1000 times easier to do. 2, remember that the customization is riddled with Technical Debt, and on a new Engine thats a bit difficult to fix.

@bsmygod their team isn't even ASSOCIATED with Overwatch and it's that ******* easy cuz guess what! same company! same problems!

(@Kuuga_Gameing) reported
@weedgoku69 overwatch casual fans hate the game and everything about it (which is fine, it's a bad moba) but they convince themselves that their issues are with balance and that there's a real, antediluvian overwatch that was "taken from them" when it was never good at all, just fake-horny
-
Chris @ The MOOOON
(@Tsukento) reported
But then again, I've also got a lot of problems with Overwatch and a bias toward how TF2 handled balancing out classes by making use of different weapons instead of making 100 different variant characters of the same roles.

(@TJayTheMage) reported
Overwatch itself as a game is fine. It's the company, executives & poor choices Blizzard's made that's the problem. I could almost forgive the sloppiness of Overwatch 2 if O1 remained playable. For **** sakes, we payed for that damn game & now all that money is wasted.
